I've done the Keisler swap. Make sure you take the bellhousing runout measurements and insert the offset dowels if required. Be prepared to loosen the back four body to subframe bolts in order to get the crossmember in. A transmission jack will be invaluable unless you have two strong helpers when it comes time to insert the trans into the bellhousing. Other than that this swap was one of the greatest things I ever did on my Camaro.
For the rear disc brake swap, be aware that you will probably have to weld the brake hose brackets to the axle tubes. If you have any welding skill at all, it will be pretty simple. PM me if you need any addiitonal info or pictures. I also had to get a parking brake cable for a Nova as my original was too short. This was probably the second best upgrade I have done.
Good luck and enjoy the results.

Love the Vette. I sold the 69 but still have a 2010, so I can enjoy the best of both.
